BUT TRUELY WORTH IT!!!

Oh Georges Bizet, you are our hero! Pure genious!! We  know and love Carmen but  Les pêcheurs de perles - The Pearls Fisher- which we obviously heard of (It's his first opera), we have never seen! So, we were clearly excited to be invited to the premier held at the glamorous Tel Aviv Opera House.

The world premier of THE PEARLS FISHER was held in Paris , September 1863. Unfortunatly none of us were born at that time but luckily the show lives forever and now we get to enjoy it here, in amazing Tel Aviv.

This beautiful opera was conducted by the talented and famous Steven Sloane (originally from LA).

The opera takes place in a small fishermans wharf in Sri Linka. Two fishermen, Nadir and Zurga, childhood friends, fall inlove with the same woman but did not want their love for her to ruin their friendship. Leila is that woman. In her title and position (goddess ) she is not allowed to have any contact with men, she has to stay pure. Well, this is an opera as you know, and there must be drama, so obviously Leila falls inlove...with Nadir and he is inlove with her as well and to find out what happens you must see the show!! No Spoilers !
Bizet's original operas (at his time) were accepted by audiences. These days , as we all know and truly don't admit, the audience prefers REALITY. Reality over beautiful legends. So this adaptation of the Opera has just that: a perfect mix of an opera from the 1800's and the reality age of the 2000's.

One more super unique point is that the choir in this opera plays a very important role. They are present almost through out the whole opera on stage and they play an important role in the progression of the story.

The power is within the people themselves, they choose their leader, Zorga, and  in conclusion they are the ones who decide and demand their rules (the death sentance).

Playing Leila is the magnificent Christina Pasaroiu (Romanian), Nadir played by Alexei Dolgov, Zurga played by Nikolai Mikhailovich.

The show is absolutely magnificent with wonderful staging and glorious costumes.  You are deeply touched again and again with the intensity of passion, love and despair.

"Opera is where a guy gets stabbed in the back and instead of dying he sings"- Robert Burns
"No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when feeling sensible" -W.H. Auden
